This was requested so I thought I'd give it a go.

I quite like it mate, especially the back.

I think just clints head on the front would look good, just a suggestion,

cheers

Lovely setup. You should consider doing more of Eastwood's westerns using the same template. Can I ask how you achieved the faded look over Clint on the front and back?

For me the text stands out way too much so I'd work on that.

I love the style and images as is...so work on the text a little then see where you are.

Thought I'd try a totally different front to see what it looks like.
When you say text Slip what exactly do you mean? All of it, the TT, names or synopsis?

I like the look, it really works. I agree, the text does stand out too much. Maybe fade the text, or use a brown shade and a cream shade, instead of red and black.

Really do like the look. Agree with metamate, you could do an Eastwood collection using this design as a template.


Added below after your last post

I was typing this while you were posting second version. Liked first better, however this front is interesting. Maybe keep first front, work this front onto the back.

Hi Sleepyhead
I like the faded drawing of Clint on the back. Not sure about the movie photos though.
I like the original front cover with the gun and necklace.
Maybe for the spine title if you used a faded color like you used for the back drawing that might work.

Just a few suggestions. Hope it helps !

All of the text, except the synopsis. Too striking a contrast to their background... try a different colour or blend them slightly.

It's a lot better but I think the gun on the back cover looks out of place . Plus the solid color looks wrong.
How bout fading the gun and then see what it looks like

the cover looks great!:):):)
but the gun on the back, does seem a little out of place..i mean the old look in the cover doesn't seem to match with the colors of the gun..that's all..
anyways, great work mate..!!

The update is awsome... But I agree that the gun needs to blend in with the rest of the back...So come on, I know you can do it...:thumbup:

The gun on the back cover. I think you either need to make it smaller or get rid of it. If you got rid of the gun then you could space the movies summary out a bit more.Otherwise it's pretty good.

Looks brilliant mate, the front and the gun look so much better.

Looking great... But I agree, make the gun smaller so that it doesn't cover the pics...
